Chapter 792: Fate is Shallow, Yet Feelings Run Deep (1)
On the first day of Qin Qian’s marriage, Yuan Shen visited the cemetery. He held flowers, walking along the stone steps to the second last grave.
He stood there for a moment, then bent down to place the flowers he held.
He stretched out his hand, gently caressing the photo on the tombstone, speaking softly, "Baby, Daddy is here to see you."
He paused, swallowing slightly, his voice a bit hoarse, "Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring your mom with me, I’m sorry."
In his life, he had always been indulgent, never considering that one day, this indulgence would destroy his love and lose his beloved.
Qin Qian always managed and restrained him in everything. She would easily start a ruckus with him, making him feel annoyed, feel she was unreasonable, feel embarrassed, yet he never thought of separating from her.
Back then, he didn’t understand what Qin Qian meant in his life, and later, when he finally understood, everything was too late.
On the second day of Qin Qian’s marriage, Yuan Shen went to the hillside of the school where he first met Qin Qian. Imitating how he was back then, his tall figure leaned against a tree trunk, eyes slightly raised, looking into the distance where a plain-looking, almost silly girl barged into his sight.
As he watched, he couldn’t help but step forward and embrace the girl tightly, as if using all his strength to meld her into his body.
Only after holding her for a long time did he slightly release her, wishing to see her, but he found there was no one in his arms.
He lifted his eyes in surprise, looking around.
It was silent here, not a soul in sight, just now... it was only his illusion.
On the third day of Qin Qian’s marriage, Yuan Shen went to the small apartment where they once lived together.
Over the years, no one had come to the apartment, nor had anyone tidied it up. It was covered in dust, and everything remained as it was after their last quarrel.
He barely remembered the details of that argument, only recalling the intensity of it.
They often argued, but Qin Qian would always easily forgive him, tolerate him, which over time gave him the illusion that no matter what he did, Qin Qian would never leave him.
So even that big argument didn’t faze him. He thought that after disappearing for a few days, Qin Qian would naturally come to find him, and then they’d reconcile.
Who knew, there would be no ’then’...
On the fourth day, the fifth day, ... the Nth day of Qin Qian’s marriage, he went to many, many places, visiting every place that held traces of him and Qin Qian, only to realize that he had truly... lost Qin Qian.
Yuan Shen and Qin Qian—there were rumors from the start that their names were inauspicious, suggesting they might part ways in the future. He didn’t believe it, didn’t believe in fate, only in himself. Yet it was he himself who lost Qin Qian with his own hands.
If time could flow backward, if... he had a time machine, he would travel back to the past, get to know Qin Qian again, fall in love with her again, cherish her properly, never again be a fool.
Then their child wouldn’t have died in the womb, they wouldn’t have separated for years, and he wouldn’t have had to watch her put on a bridal gown, but not walk toward him.
Does he still have a chance?
Yuan Shen lay down on the bed, his black eyes slowly closing, a tear traced down his cheek, and faintly, he seemed to hear that familiar voice calling him...
